Pics: Year 1 of Wellness!

[MixIMO735]

After my sweet pups passed in '23, I wasn't taking care of myself. I was shocked to realize I'd put on nearly 100 pounds. Since January, I've really been trying to get healthy, and I finally have proof it's paying off. I've been losing at a snail's pace, but it's steady. Stick with it, slow losers!

Awesome progress! You'll get there in another year, or even sooner!

Your joints must be thanking you!

Thanks, everyone!

Anyone who is struggling with not dropping weight as fast as everyone else, stick with it. You got this!

Needed to hear that today! I'm down about 30lbs since starting my meds but it feels like it's been a crawl.

Amazing job! Someone posted some before/after leg shots here and it's inspiring me to keep going. I hope I can wear shorts again someday!

I saw a post about someone wearing the same shorts a year apart and the difference was incredible! It was on Reddit, let me see if I can find it....here. It's a good reminder that slow progress is still progress.

I hear you! I'm still seeing the "old me" in the mirror sometimes, even though the scale says different. It's weird!
